My Second Brother Is a One-in-a-Million Genius!

"Hahaha, good, very good! Someone, go, send three thousand taels of silver to Young Hero Zhang as a token of congratulations."

"Yes, Miss."

Gu Ying was currently in high spirits and didn't feel the slightest heartache over those three thousand taels of silver.

It was worth it!

As for the problems the Gu Family was facing.

She didn't even need to personally ask Zhang Su to intervene; once the Zhen Family learned of this news, they would naturally stop their actions on their own.

They might even send people to the Gu Family to offer an apology.

This was the deterrent power of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect!

"Right, Xianxian, let's not mention your cousin anymore."

Du Xianxian felt a bit awkward.

In truth, she had come to "persuade" Gu Ying privately at the behest of her cousin, Bai Jingxing.

She had assumed that Gu Ying was at the end of her rope and had nowhere left to turn.

Who could have expected that a Zhang Su would pop up?

He had actually forcefully ascended to the position of one of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.

It was truly unbelievable.

The troubles of the Gu Family were enough to be resolved just by the name "Zhang Su."

"Alright, let's not talk about those things..."

Du Xianxian could only say softly.

She had already made up her mind to write a letter to her cousin as soon as she returned, warning him not to pine after Gu Ying anymore.

After all, with a Top Ten Outer Sect Disciple of the Guiyuan Sect backing them, the Gu Family could rest easy.

Moreover, she heard that Zhang Su was still very young; who knew what kind of relationship Zhang Su and Gu Ying had?

It was best not to provoke them, just in case!

Qingquan Prefecture, Su Family.

Zhang Chen's frail body was wracked with constant coughing.

Recently, Zhang Chen had caught a cold, and the coughing just wouldn't go away.

Yet, he kept forcing himself to handle the business affairs of the Su Family.

Su Zhenzhen held Zhang Chen's hand, her heart aching for him.

She knew that Zhang Chen's illness was in his heart.

Recently, the Wei Family had become increasingly unscrupulous.

Zhang Chen was under too much pressure.

"Husband, you don't actually need to put so much pressure on yourself. The Wei Family is currently at the height of their power; we can just avoid their edge for now. No matter how much you worry, it won't change anything."

Su Zhenzhen's words did not make Zhang Chen relax.

He let out a long sigh and said, "I know, but there are a thousand threads to the business; I can't just do nothing. Since I am now in charge of the Su Family's business, I must give it my all..."

Su Zhenzhen fell silent.

In truth, she also knew that the current situation was dire and that the First Branch was under immense pressure.

But this wasn't the First Branch's fault.

It wasn't even the Su Family's fault.

After all, the Su Family was merely a family of merchants.

With the Wei Family relying on Wei Yunzhou to expand through force, what could the Su Family possibly do?

The Inner Sect disciple that the Su Family supported was, after all, an outsider.

Expecting that Inner Sect disciple to confront Wei Yunzhou was simply impossible.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Uncle Guan ran into the front hall, panting, but his expression was incredibly excited.

"Young Master, good news, wonderful news..."

Both Zhang Chen and Su Zhenzhen looked at Uncle Guan in surprise.

"Uncle Guan, rest for a moment, catch your breath, and tell us slowly whatever it is."

Su Zhenzhen was relatively calm.

After taking a few deep breaths, Uncle Guan finally spoke: "We just received a message by carrier pigeon from the Guiyuan Sect; the Second Young Master challenged Luo Feng, one of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples, and defeated him!"

"The Second Young Master has now ascended to the position of one of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect!"

"Boom."

As soon as these words were spoken, both Zhang Chen and Su Zhenzhen widened their eyes, their minds reeling with a thunderous roar.

"Uncle Guan, is this true?"

Zhang Chen simply could not believe it.

"Eldest Young Master, it is absolutely certain!"

Uncle Guan was also extremely excited.

"Wife, did you hear that? Second Brother has truly become one of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect! Hahaha, Second Brother is a one-in-a-ten-thousand genius!"

Zhang Chen's face flushed red, and he appeared incredibly agitated.

Su Zhenzhen had naturally heard it, and she felt deeply moved as well.

Although Zhang Su had displayed impressive talent when he first returned to the Su Family.

He had even defeated the martial arts genius of Qingquan Prefecture, Jiang Cheng.

But the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect were something else entirely.

The Guiyuan Sect had tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, each one a local genius in their own right.

The Top Ten were the cream of the crop, geniuses among geniuses, and were practically the benchmark for the Guiyuan Sect's outer sect.

To think that Zhang Su could actually become one of the Top Ten Disciples?

"Husband, Second Brother is a heaven-sent talent; his future prospects are limitless! Don't look at how the Wei Family is gaining power now; that might not last..."

Su Zhenzhen said with a smile.

Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.

No matter what, he never could have imagined that his second brother, Zhang Su, could reach such heights.

Just thinking about it felt incredible.

Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples!

Previously, he hadn't even dared to imagine such a thing.

And now, Zhang Su had done it!

"Go, spread this good news to the Jiang Family! Since the Jiang Family has entered into this marriage alliance, they need to show some actual results. The Wei Family is being aggressive right now, but the Jiang Family is not entirely powerless to resist; they need to show some backbone..."

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes.

Su Zhenzhen immediately understood what Zhang Chen meant.

"That's right, with Second Brother now ranked among the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect, the Jiang Family should show their sincerity..."

The two exchanged a smile, feeling a bit more at ease.

Guiyuan Sect, Inner Sect, a secluded courtyard.

Wei Yunzhou was closing his eyes to rest.

"Creak."

Outside the door, a disciple dressed in Inner Sect attire quietly entered the room.

"Senior Brother Wei, a letter from your family has just arrived from Qingquan Prefecture..."

This Inner Sect disciple respectfully handed over the letter.

Wei Yunzhou slowly opened his eyes.

He reached out his hand and took the letter.

When Wei Yunzhou opened the letter and carefully read its contents, his brows furrowed slightly.

It was indeed a family letter, and it had been written personally by Wei Yunzhou's father, the current head of the Wei Family.

However, the content was somewhat strange.

It was actually asking him to deal with a disciple named "Zhang Su."

He was said to be the younger brother of the Su Family's son-in-law.

Whether it was the Su Family or the Jiang Family, both now had a great connection to Zhang Su, and they were the biggest obstacles to the Wei Family's expansion.

"Junior Brother Lu Quan, do you know of a disciple in the outer sect named 'Zhang Su'?"

Wei Yunzhou asked.

Upon hearing this, Lu Quan said with some surprise, "Senior Brother Wei, have you heard of this Zhang Su too?"

"Hmm? Why, does this Zhang Su have a great reputation?"

Wei Yunzhou raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Of course, Zhang Su is currently the most famous person in the outer sect."

"This Zhang Su is said to have only joined the Outer Sect of the Guiyuan Sect a mere year ago, and he was even over the age limit; he only became an Outer Sect disciple by pulling strings and using connections."

"Just a few days ago, Zhang Su challenged Luo Feng, one of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples, and actually killed him. Now that he ranks among the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples, it has caused quite a sensation in the Outer Sect."

Wei Yunzhou was indeed very surprised.

He had not expected "Zhang Su" to have made such a huge name for himself in the Outer Sect.

"My father just sent a letter saying that this Zhang Su is obstructing the expansion of the Wei Family. Father wants me to deal with this Zhang Su. Does Junior Brother Lu have any ideas?"

Wei Yunzhou spoke directly.

Lu Quan was his confidant and also an Inner Sect disciple, so there was nothing he needed to hide from him.

"Deal with Zhang Su?"

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Lu Quan's eyes.

He pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "Zhang Su killed Luo Feng with genuine strength. His true ability is likely enough to rank in the top five of the Outer Sect!"

"Senior Brother Wei is an Inner Sect disciple, and the sect has rules that Inner Sect disciples must not bully Outer Sect disciples. Therefore, it is inconvenient for you to take action personally. To deal with Zhang Su, we must have an Outer Sect disciple do it."

"But if we want to firmly suppress Zhang Su, I'm afraid only those three people in the Outer Sect can do it..."

Wei Yunzhou knew exactly who the "three people" Lu Quan was referring to were.

Among the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples, there were three who were very special.

Their strength was clearly far above the other seven disciples.

Wei Yunzhou's expression was calm.

He seemed to be considering something.

After a long while, Wei Yunzhou finally spoke slowly: "Have Bai Junze take action! Tell him that no matter what method he uses, if he gets rid of Zhang Su, the favor he owes me will be wiped clean!"

Lu Quan was visibly shaken.

Bai Junze!

The madman ranked second among the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples!

Even Lu Quan had no idea that there was such a connection between Bai Junze and Wei Yunzhou.

No matter how strong Zhang Su was, he was definitely no match for Bai Junze!

"Understood, Senior Brother Wei."

Lu Quan replied with a respectful expression.

He immediately stood up and headed toward the Outer Sect.

Wei Yunzhou closed his eyes once again.

He did not take this matter to heart.

To him, such trivial matters in the Outer Sect were not worth mentioning!
